2.5 kWh Wall-mounted LiFePO4 Battery, 24V 100Ah, 23.5 kg

A small wall battery for one circuit, one cabin, one telecom box. 2.56 kWh, 100A charge and discharge, 6,000 cycles, and it hangs on a bracket with four screws. It is not a whole-house backup, and this page says what it actually runs.

WHO THIS IS FOR

One circuit, not one house

2.56 kWh is about a day of a fridge, or two and a half hours of a 1 kW heater. That is a real and useful amount of energy, but it is not a whole-home backup, and a buyer who expects one will be disappointed on the first night. So this page is written for the job it actually does: keeping a router, a fridge, a medical device or a telecom box alive.

It suits a cabin or a workshop on a small array, a gate or a camera post, a telecom cabinet that needs four hours of hold-up, a boat with a 24V system, and any retrofit where the battery has to go on a wall in a space that is already finished.

It does not suit a house with an air conditioner and an electric stove. For that, look at the stacked battery, which starts at 5.12 kWh and reaches 80.4. It also does not suit an outdoor wall, because our datasheet prints no IP rating for this model.

THE ONE MODEL

Everything the datasheet prints, in one place

One build, one column. Where our datasheet is silent, the row says so rather than guessing, because those gaps are what a technical buyer will ask about first.

Parallel limit“Supports parallel connection”, number not stated
Three gaps, and we are not going to fill them with guesses. The datasheet prints no IP rating, no warranty term and no parallel limit for this model, and the cycle figure comes without a depth of discharge. Ask us for all four in writing before you design around them. A wall battery on a garage wall is exactly the product where IP matters and where nobody thinks to ask.

150 mm deep, and that is the whole point

Most 24V batteries are a plastic box that has to stand on something. This one is 150 mm deep, so it goes on a wall in a corridor, behind a door, above a workbench, or on the bulkhead of a boat where there was never floor space.

The bracket carries the weight; the wall only has to resist 23.5 kg in shear plus a small pull-out. Into masonry that is four M8 anchors. Into plasterboard on studs, find the studs, or fit a ply pattress first.

Do not hang it above a bed or a doorway. A bracket that has held for two years can still be undone by someone leaning on the unit while decorating.

WHAT 2.56 kWh ACTUALLY RUNS

The table that decides whether this is the right battery

Figures below use 2.3 kWh, which is 90% of nominal. The datasheet does not print a recommended depth of discharge for this model, so 90% is our design assumption, not a factory figure.

2 kW kettle2,000 W1.2 hoursRuns one boil, because 2.56 kW of surge is available
Whole house with AC and cooking3–5 kWUnder 1 hourWrong product. Buy 10 kWh or more
The strength of this unit is its 1C rating. 2.56 kW out of a 2.56 kWh pack means it starts a fridge compressor, runs a kettle, or takes a 2 kW load without tripping, which most small wall batteries cannot do. That is worth more than the kWh figure on the box, and it is the one thing to put in front of a customer who thinks 2.5 kWh sounds small.

VOLTAGE, INVERTER AND PARALLEL

This is a 24V battery, and one line of our own copy says otherwise

Our brochure prints “Operates on safe 51.2V DC” on this model’s page. The specification on the same page says 25.6V nominal, and the model number says 24V. The specification is right. That sentence is left over from the 51.2V family and it is being corrected.

QuestionAnswer for this modelWhat to check
What inverter?A 24V hybrid or off-grid inverterNot a 48V unit. A 48V inverter will not start on 25.6V, and a 12V one will be damaged
Charge voltage28.8V top of rangeSet absorption to 28.4 to 28.8V. A 24V lead-acid profile at 29.4V will trip the BMS
ParallelSupported, number of units not statedAsk us for the limit and the addressing method before you sell a bank
CommunicationRS485, RS232, CANThree ports, so it will talk to most 24V inverters. The mobile app in our brochure implies a Bluetooth or WiFi module that is not in the port list
Series connectionNot statedTwo in series for 48V is physically possible and not approved in writing. Do not do it
One correction to make in your brochure before the next print run: the “51.2V” line on this page. A buyer who plans a 48V system around it will order the wrong inverter, and the argument will be about what your catalogue said. It is a one-word fix now and a shipping claim later.

CERTIFICATION

What the paperwork covers

UN 38.3

Transport test summary. A 23.5 kg pack ships as Class 9 in a single carton, which keeps freight simple compared with a palletised cabinet.

CE & RoHS

Issued per model. Ask for the report number that covers the 24V build specifically; a 51.2V report does not transfer.

IEC 62619

The one a European or Gulf buyer asks for on a stationary battery. Tell us the destination and we confirm what we hold for this model rather than assuming it carries over.

INSTALLATION NOTES

Six things the installer needs to know

  • Find the studs, or fit a pattress. 23.5 kg in shear plus a pull-out moment at 150 mm off the wall. Into masonry, four M8 anchors are enough. Into plasterboard, ply first, always.
  • Do not hang it over a bed or a doorway. The bracket will hold. The person leaning on it while painting is the risk. Pick a wall nobody walks past with a ladder.
  • No IP rating is printed. Until we confirm one, treat this as an indoor product: a plant room, a cabin interior, a garage that stays dry. Not a covered outdoor wall.
  • 24V, not 48V. A 48V inverter will not start on 25.6V, and it is not a wiring mistake you find until the first power-up.
  • Set absorption to 28.4 to 28.8V. A 24V lead-acid profile at 29.4V will push the BMS into overvoltage disconnect, and the customer will report a dead battery.
  • Charging near or below 0 °C. The operating range is −10 to 60 °C but no separate charge window is printed. Assume no charging below 0 °C until we confirm otherwise.

QUESTIONS

Six things buyers ask about this model

Can 2.5 kWh really back up a house?

No. It runs a fridge, lights, a router and a medical device for a day or two, and it will run a small air conditioner for about three hours. A house with an air conditioner and electric cooking needs 10 kWh and up. Say this early: a customer who buys 2.5 kWh expecting a whole-house backup returns the product, and the return costs more than the margin.

Is it 24V or 51.2V? Your brochure says both.

24V. The specification says 25.6V nominal and the model number says 24V, so the “51.2V” line in our brochure is a printing error carried over from the 51.2V family, and it is being corrected. Plan a 24V inverter. We are telling you rather than letting you find out at commissioning.

How many can I parallel?

Our brochure says parallel connection is supported and does not give a number. Ask us in writing before you design a bank, because the limit depends on the BMS firmware and on how the addresses are set. Two units is the common configuration for a camera post or a telecom box, and we will confirm that specific case in writing.

What is the IP rating?

Our datasheet does not print one for this model, so we treat it as an indoor product on this page. If it is going into a garage, a boat locker or a semi-exposed position, ask us for the rating before you order. A wall battery is exactly the product where a buyer assumes IP65 and nobody thinks to check.

Will it run a 2 kW load?

Yes, briefly. The discharge rating is 100A at 25.6V, which is 2.56 kW, so a kettle or a microwave runs. That is 1C on a 2.56 kWh pack, which is high for a battery this small and is the real reason to choose it over a cheaper 0.5C unit. Just do not expect to run 2 kW for an hour: the energy is only 2.3 kWh usable.

What is the warranty, and the depth of discharge?

Our datasheet prints neither for this model. The 6,000-cycle figure comes with no depth of discharge attached, and there is no warranty term on the page at all, which is unusual even for us. Ask for both in writing against your duty cycle before the order, and we will put them on the quotation instead of in a brochure.
